I know this isn't betta art, but I figured it belonged more in the art forum than anywhere else.

My college thesis show is this coming Friday and I still have some work to do, one that includes making a website. My thesis is about animals in advertising and for the project portion of thesis, I focused on four different rescues relating to the four different animals I wrote about. I designed an advertising campaign for the rescues.

Along with the campaign, I wanted to do a website that was unrelated to the animals I focused on and instead about my own fish rescue/fish sitting, that I would design using the same elements (illustration style, colors, etc) I used in the campaign.

With that said, I'm in the process of drawing the illustration that I plan on using on the homepage. Within the next few hours, I will show you each step I go through until I get to the final image.

I know a few weeks ago I posted a betta sketch I did and have yet to make any progress, but that's only because I've been working on thesis stuff. Because this is related to thesis, I won't be putting it off. I'm hoping to finish it by tonight.

I want to color it like Ro, and I will, but because she is white and the background of the website is white, it wouldn't look good. So I'll color something different for the site - maybe like Fus or my cousin's fish that will eventually be mine :3

Shading is what makes a cartoon realistic. That is why I always steer away from cartoon drawings and draw realistic drawings. I do find your art work very cutesy and thoroughly enjoy it. Keep up the good work!
